Thank you to DePaul University for another hugely successful joint symposium. This marks the 5th year NIBA has partnered with DePaul University to present an afternoon of education and networking for our members -- and another standing-room-only event.
This year’s topics included blockchain, NFA-audit triggers, new AML requirements, implementation of GDPR and changes to cyber-security regulations. The highlight of the meeting was an intimate and very informative armchair chat featuring Leo Melamed, pioneer of financial futures and Chairman Emeritus of CME Group.
Big thanks also to the Joint NIBA/DePaul Symposium Committee. The 2018 event committee included:
- Tom Sandy, Chairman (NIBA Event Chair; Rice Dairy, LLC)
- Dr. Carl Luft, Academic Dir. Arditti Center, Assoc. Professor, DePaul University
- Katie Tervin, Zaner Group
- John Roe, BTR Trading
- Mark Shore, Shore Capital Management/Coquest
- Mike Loftus, Metolius Capital
- Tom Edwalds, Exec. Dir. Arditti Center, DePaul
- Steve Petillo, Straits Financial
The video of the business sessions from the August 8th Symposium will be available soon on the NIBA website.
